Welcome to the website of Global Impact & Carbon Consulting Limited (“GCCL”, “we”, “our” or “us”). These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of globalcarbonconsulting.com and the information made available through it.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

1. About GCCL

GCCL provides sustainability, carbon and climate-related consulting services. Information on this website is intended to help visitors understand our areas of expertise and the services we may offer.

The publication of information on this website does not, by itself, establish a client relationship or require GCCL to provide any service.

2. Website Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information on this website is accurate and current. However, website content is provided for general information and may be updated, changed or removed without notice.

Descriptions of services, capabilities, methodologies, standards or regulatory developments should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a particular outcome will be achieved or that a service is suitable for every organisation.

If you intend to rely on information for a specific business, technical, regulatory or investment decision, you should seek advice appropriate to your circumstances.

3. Consulting Services and Client Engagements

Any consulting engagement will be governed by the specific proposal, quotation, statement of work, engagement letter or service agreement agreed between GCCL and the client.

The applicable engagement documents may define the scope of work, deliverables, timelines, fees, payment terms, client responsibilities, confidentiality obligations, assumptions and limitations.

Where an agreed engagement document conflicts with these general website terms regarding a particular engagement, the specific agreement will govern that engagement to the extent of the conflict and subject to applicable law.

No service is considered formally commissioned solely because a visitor has viewed the website, submitted an enquiry or requested a consultation.

4. Professional Information and Disclaimer

Content concerning sustainability, carbon accounting, carbon credits, environmental performance, ESG, reporting, assurance, verification, validation or related subjects is provided for general informational purposes unless expressly identified as part of a contracted professional engagement.

Website content does not constitute a guarantee of regulatory approval, certification, verification results, carbon-credit issuance, financial performance, emissions reductions or other particular outcomes.

Applicable requirements and recognised standards may change. The suitability of any method, framework or recommendation depends on the facts, evidence, scope and circumstances of the relevant engagement.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its content, including text, graphics, branding, logos, photographs, page designs and other materials, are owned by GCCL or used with permission.

You may access and view the website for personal or legitimate business information purposes. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, commercially exploit or modify website content without prior permission, except where permitted by law.

Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of GCCL's intellectual property to a website visitor or client. Intellectual property rights relating to specific client deliverables will be governed by the applicable engagement agreement.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use this website lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

• Use the website in a way that violates applicable law or another person's rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its hosting environment or related systems.
• Introduce malicious code, interfere with website security or disrupt its operation.
• Use automated methods to extract website content in an unlawful or unauthorised manner.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us.
• Use website content in a misleading, fraudulent or infringing manner.

We may take reasonable steps to protect the website and its users where misuse or a security risk is suspected.

7. Enquiries and Communications

When submitting an enquiry, you agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorised to share.

Submitting a contact form or sending us an email does not guarantee that we will accept an engagement, provide a quotation or respond within a particular timeframe. We may request additional information before determining whether we can assist.

Personal information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

8. Confidentiality

Please do not submit sensitive, confidential or commercially restricted material through a general website contact form unless you are comfortable doing so and have appropriate authority to share it.

Confidentiality obligations relating to consulting engagements will be determined by the applicable agreement and any other binding obligations. Sending information through the website does not automatically create a confidentiality agreement or professional engagement.

9. Third-Party Links

This website may link to external websites, resources or platforms for convenience and information. These links do not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the linked material or its operator.

GCCL is not responsible for the content, availability, security or privacy practices of external websites. Your use of those websites is subject to their own terms and policies.

10. Website Availability

We aim to keep the website available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation or compatibility with every device or browser.

We may maintain, update, suspend or modify website features where reasonably necessary, including for security, technical or operational reasons.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, GCCL will not be responsible for losses arising solely from a visitor's reliance on general website information without obtaining advice appropriate to their circumstances, or from the temporary unavailability of the website, third-party websites or external services beyond our reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful. These website terms do not replace any liability provisions specifically agreed in a client engagement contract.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for losses or claims arising from your unlawful use of the website, your infringement of third-party rights, or your material breach of these terms.

This provision does not apply to the extent that a loss results from GCCL's own unlawful conduct or where applicable law prevents such an allocation of responsibility.

13. Privacy and Cookies

Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information and how cookies and similar technologies may be used.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Updates will be published on this page with a revised last-updated date.

Your continued use of the website after revised terms are published indicates your acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any separate client engagement remains subject to its governing agreement.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Kenya, subject to any mandatory legal requirements that apply.

If a dispute arises concerning use of this website, the parties should first seek to resolve it through good-faith communication. This does not prevent either party from pursuing remedies available under applicable law.
